    quitting the naval academy

    for those upset about the whole "took a spot from someone who really wanted it" aspect: I used to view this in a similar way, because I was not accepted to USNA. However I am learning and maturing quite a bit as a College Program MIDN 4/C at George Washington University. The Navy knows that...

    Prospective C/O 2016

    looks good to me. Id say the biggest thing for you to focus on now is the interview. Looks like a strong application on paper, however keep in mind that there is more to being a strong military officer than having a good resume. there are plenty of candidates that get turned away with...

    1. If I am reapplying doI need to do a preliminary app? and if yes, when I do it will it erase my current CIS file? 2. will I need to resend my ACT/SAT scores from the testing agencies? I know college grades will trump these scores but they are still required as part of the application correct?
